I’d be delighted with this player. 4 good reliable CD’s with 2 talented youngsters waiting in wings.

This sounds like a really good deal, just hope it happens. The dearth of sport st the moment, plus these interminable deals is quite disturbing.

Can't wait for the action to begin and we're back in the old routine.

I was hoping Mr Marinakis was going to invite us all to Athens for a few days R&R, but my hopes have been dashed, I was even prepared to brave the appalling muddle at the airports these days.

Well you can’t get clearly than that from DT
If this guy signs and Williams and Toffolo come to fruition in the coming days, that's the back 6 sorted (at least for now). That only really leaves midfield and some reinforcements...

If AMN, MGW and the lad from Rangers all come off we'll be nearly sorted with about £80m spend.

Henderson - loan

Williams - £15m
Worrall
Niakhate - £10m
McKenna
Toffolo - £4m

AMN/Yatesy - £15m
Aribo - £10m
MGW - £22m

Johnson
Awoniyi - £17.5m

£90m +...

That's as good a team as I think we can hope for. A few mill left for some wild cards as well...

Plenty of cover for most positions. Bit soft in midfield and upfront though.

Add further quality next season.

Cafu, Colback and Lolley to add squad depth in midfield.

Grabban and Surridge to add squad depth up front.

Cook, Mbe Soh and Panzo for cover at the back.

Looks as decent as we can hope for. I'd be happy with that.

However we need much better squad depth than this. As much as I appreciate their efforts for us, we are in trouble if we are relying on Cafu, Lolley and Grabban if we pick up a few injuries/suspensions.

Agreed ... But this is where we'll have to ride our luck next season if we're to stay up. Picking up injuries and lots of suspensions would almost certainly see us too weak to compete. The trouble with losing half our squad that got us up!

I think we at least need a few decent squad players to compete really. Replace those three with better and we'll have half a chance.

Great news.

Really glad this one is happening, it looks a good price too, another reason to shop abroad and not bother buying off big English teams.

The Bundesliga is definitely a strategy the club are targeting...

Better than the championship
Arguably as good as the Premier League although possibly not at the very top
Cheaper and less inflated
Lower wages so players will move

All very sensible. My guess is this lad wants to come to Forest to play in the Prem and we'll offer better wages..

It's crazy that Mainz can't compete with us financially.

You could say they don't have the financial Mainz

Perfectly reasonable post, but still read things like this and think how in the f*** has this happened. Walking out the Cardiff/Boro home games last season thinking yep, we're down. Just amazing!

Driving home from the Middlesbrough home game,it sounded as if Colin Fray and Steve Hodge were
stupid enough to write us off(as I was!).

Back in August, I had a Derby acquaintance say “Mind the gap”.
Although to be fair to him he did admit that he was only getting it in first as it wouldn’t last long

Christ on a bike, get it done, Forest.

This lad is a proper player.

Get this done Forest, so that the player earns his much needed accent in the title of his LTLF topic (it's Niakhaté, as Romano correctly writes).
